Big Business in Twentieth-Century Australia
CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC HISTORY THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY SOURCE PAPER SERIES BIG BUSINESS IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY AUSTRALIA DAVID MERRETT UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE SIMON VILLE UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG SOURCE PAPER NO. 21 APRIL 2016 THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY ACTON ACT 0200 AUSTRALIA T 61 2 6125 3590 F 61 2 6125 5124 E [email protected] https://www.rse.anu.edu.au/research/centres-projects/centre-for-economic-history/ Big Business in Twentieth-Century Australia David Merrett and Simon Ville Business history has for the most part been dominated by the study of large firms. Household names, often with preserved archives, have had their company stories written by academics, journalists, and former senior employees. Broader national studies have analysed the role that big business has played in a country’s economic development. While sometimes this work has alleged oppressive anti-competitive behaviour, much has been written from a more positive perspective. Business historians, influenced by the pioneering work of Alfred Chandler, have implicated the ‘visible hand’ of large scale enterprise in national economic development particularly through their competitive strategies and modernised governance structures, which have facilitated innovation, the integration of national markets, and the growth of professional bureaucracies. While our understanding of the role of big business has been enriched by an aggregation of case studies, some writers have sought to study its impact through economy-wide lenses. This has typically involved constructing sets of the largest 100 or 200 companies at periodic benchmark years through the twentieth century, and then analysing their characteristics – such as their size, industrial location, growth strategies, and market share - and how they changed over time. -

Norm Saville and Bill Cooke Were Prominent in Racing
In October 1955, Norm entered his 203, described in the program as being Norm and Bill of 1200cc, in a six-lap sedan car handicap. Holdens fi lled the fi rst three places and Norm’s placing was not recorded. At the same meeting he competed in – a couple of lads a sedan and sports car race, which attracted a big fi eld. MG TCs were fi rst, second and third but the other placings are unknown.

Two Redex trials followed, in 1954 and 1955, and each was longer and more demanding than the one before. -

PBR History REV Smlr.Pdf
1927 - 2017 1332 PBR Booklet Cover.xp 17/12/02 2:56 PM Page 3 The original certificate of incorporation shows that Paton Brake Service Station was registered on 1st December 1927 and established as a partnership. THE GARAGE THAT GREW The brothers never strayed from what we now call "core competencies". They were specialists who understood brakes and, as the automotive industry evolved, they continually worked on designing and making better products, and looking for ways of improving their manufacturing processes and service to customers. But they never fell into the trap of trying to provide products and services that they did not understand, no matter how tempting this must have been in a rapidly growing industry. They also understood, as did the generations that followed, that brakes were a safety critical product so there could never be any compromise on the quality of their work. Their commitment to the people who worked for them was outstanding. Throughout the Great Depression, they refused to lay off a single employee – a formidable feat in the 1930s when unemployment reached a staggering 33%. The values of the Paton brothers remained embedded in the company down the decades. During the 1950s and 60s the torch was carried by Jack Pearce who spent all but 16 years of his entire life with the company. Under his leadership, PBR flourished as a business that saw no limits to what it was capable of achieving and an exciting place to work. In times of adversity such as the oil shocks and inflationary times of the 1970s, PBR saw the problems as opportunities and created new, lightweight products that reduced vehicle fuel consumption and set new standards of performance. -
Preserving the Legacy of South Australian Motor Racing Identity Tom Stevens and 70 Years of Racing MG’S
Lisa Stevens | School of Science, RMIT University Preserving the Legacy of South Australian Motor Racing Identity Tom Stevens and 70 years of Racing MG’s. Tom Stevens was a man whose involvement with motor sport and the automotive industry spanned more than seven decades. His private collection of letters, photographs, technical reports and race programs, provide a glimpse of Australian motorsport from the 1930’s, post war through to the modern era. Stevens’ trademark was his scientific and technical approach to car preparation and racing. But it was his in-depth knowledge of cars, drivers and racetracks (long since gone) that made him an authoritative source. This paper not only provides an overview of Tom Stevens career, but also documents the challenges in preserving a small slice of motorsport history. 1| AHA 2016 Conference Proceedings Lisa Stevens Preserving the Legacy of South Australian Motor Racing Identity Tom Stevens and 70 years of Racing MG’s. Introduction Unlike some of his contemporaries, there are no books, websites or Wikipedia pages dedicated to his life and his achievements: There were no world records, no formal accolades. Tom Stevens is best described as one of the characters of motor racing in the pre and post war era. He maintained an involvement in motor sports and the fuel and lubricant industry for approximately 70 years as a sports administrator, historian, mechanic, restorer of cars, fuel and lubricant specialist, team manager and racing driver. Tom Stevens was the son of immigrant parents, born in Mile End, South Australia. His father, a motor body builder/munitions worker, left Somerset England in 1919 and settled in Camden Park in Adelaide.
